Researchers are Developing New Baits That Will More Effectively Destroy Ant Colonies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some ants<\/a> can be beneficial as long as they\u2019re outside, but others can cause big problems. Fire ants, for example, have a painful bite and tend to go after people in large numbers. Baits for these ants haven\u2019t changed much since they were first around in the 1960s, but scientists are working on improving them.<\/p>\n

Improved Ant Bait<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers are developing water-resistant ant bait<\/a> that could prove to be more effective at eliminating ants than traditional bait. This water-resistant bait prevents the queen from being able to produce eggs, which helps destroy the colony.<\/p>\n

Traditional baits aren\u2019t always as effective as they could be due to wet conditions that cause their ingredients to break down. Water-resistant baits aren\u2019t susceptible to the same breakdown, which helps ensure that they do their job. In fact, scientists found that colonies exposed to this type of bait stopped producing worker ants.<\/p>\n

NJ homeowners should note that this water-resistant bait isn\u2019t available yet in the U.S., although there\u2019s a patent for it. Until it becomes available, homeowners should depend on Ocean County NJ pest control companies<\/a> to handle any ant infestations they have in their home or yard.<\/p>\n
